LSD, now made in India By: Poornima Swaminathan Date: 2010-10-14 Place: Mumbai
An indigenous industry engaged in manufacturing the popular party drug has spawned in parts of the state and Gujarat; it was earlier smuggled in from Europe and the USA
It's raining money for businesses this festive season and drug dealers don't want to be left behind.
To cater to the spurt in demand for LSD (Lysergic Acid Diethymalide), drug dealers have set up manufacturing units in the outskirts of Maharashtra and parts of Gujarat, said Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) officials. The popular party drug was, so far, smuggled in from Europe and the USA owing to lack of expertise needed for its manufacture.
Now, however, chemical experts help the dealers in making LSD in areas like Raigadh district, Vapi and Valsad and it is then smuggled into major cities like Mumbai using ingenious methods.
One of the popular ways of evading detection is soaking blotting paper in the chemical and camouflaging it with images of Hindu gods, celebrities, heritage sites and sun signs.
The paper is then divided into tiny strips which the user puts under his tongue to let the LSD mix with saliva. Each strip costs around Rs 2,000 while the complete paper is sold for nearly Rs 6 lakh.
"The demand for LSD in party circuits in Mumbai has increased by several times. Hence, dealers have started manufacturing it here," said a senior NCB.
"Using blotting paper or blotter makes the drug difficult to detect and makes bulk transfers easy owing to its small volume. Blotter is also easy to dispose during a raid."
The official added that agencies are keeping a close watch on the manufacturing units and are likely to zero-in on them soon.
According to preliminary reports, a few foreigners are also suspected to be involved in the illegal manufacturing.
'Trippy'
LSD needs to be made through synthesisation of chemicals, a process which requires immense skill and expertise.
Made by reacting diethylamine with an activated form of lysergic acid, LSD is available in three forms liquid, sugar cubes and blotter.
Sources said blotter is the most commonly used form and is easy to consume and supply. The street names for LSD include Trip, Acid, Dose, Blotter and CID.

Weird that they consider 'sugar cubes' it's own 'form' of LSD when it's just liquid dropped onto the sugar cubes. In that case it would've been more accurate to have said "It's available in unlimited forms - liquid, sugar cubes, breath mints, sour patch kids, fucking...toast, milk, jello..."

The way they described those "strips" made it sound like they were hits. I am unsure if the Indian hits are the same as western hits which often vary on a dose of over 100% (double blotters and singles), but we don't know even what size these strips are in relation to the amount per strip of actual lsd compared to what we would compare it to. Assuming that these are based on western measurements and this is market is as ill supplied as the article says $45 USD does not sound totally ridiculous. In BC the price of bud in the states sounds odd as does the price of cocaine in the US to people in Columbia.

No translation needed on this one. He is saying that he is an opportunist personality cult leader and war criminal.
